\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { \: x = - 6}}}}}}


\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {Step-by-step\:explanation:}}}


\:8 + 4x = - 16


\: 4x = - 16 - 8


\: 4x = - 24


\: x = ( - 24)/(4)


\: x = - 6


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\blue{To\:verify}}{\blue{:}}}}}


\:8 + 4x = - 16


\: 8 + 4( - 6) = - 16


\: 8 - 24 = - 16


\: - 16 = - 16

Hence verified.
